[Eric] /ui directory and Ui.mainwindow

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello Phil,

eric generates a file called Ui_*.py when compiling a form file (*.ui). In your 
example the compiled source would be Ui_mainwindow.py. This file is stored 
alongside the form file. In your module implementing the functionality of the 
form you would include a line like this

from .Ui_mainwindow import Ui_mainwindow		<- your dialog class here
class MainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_mainwindow):
  def __init__(self, parent=None):
    QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent=parent)
    self.setupUi(self)

That's it. This is the pattern used to implement the eric IDE.
